For the Record…

Jim Hill, guitarist for Custom Deluxe, moved last month.  This meant that Matt, owner of the truck, would be helping out with the transportation.  In return for my assistance, Jim gave me a good deal on a Magnavox Sterophonic High Fidelity radio/record player.  Good times.

After carefully transporting the unit from Southie to Newton, Krissy and I hauled the thing up 2 flights of stairs into the attic, where it now resides.   All we needed was some media to play on it.  We found these companions on a trip to Pennsylvania this weekend.

So, last night, after more soundproofing in the basement, we headed upstairs for the maiden voyage.  The first LP we played was Thick as a Brick (complete with newspaper cover ).  After that, we played Aja, one of the most polished albums ever.  There was some popping and crackling going on, but not too much.  Probably due to cheap records.  Anyway, the Magnavox works.
